If the fuel cap is not tightly secured to the fuel tank, this will cause a loss of vacuum pressure and vacuum leaks. When there is improper vacuum pressure and/or vacuum leaks, the Check Fuel Cap Light will be displayed.
Can a loose gas cap cause the check engine light to come on?
Something as simple as forgetting to replace the gas cap could cause your “check engine” light to come on. This is because the gas cap keeps vapors from escaping the fuel tank. A loose or broken gas cap can dramatically reduce fuel efficiency and increase emissions.
